Wi-Fi enhanced open looks like a nice security enhancement for open networks, but unfortunately (correct me if I'm wrong) it still doesn't look like it protects users from rogue access points; it only stops eavesdropping if users have already connected to the correct network.

I'd love to see a system similar to what Wi-Fi is already doing with Easy Connect, where users can scan a public key embedded in a QR Code or NFC tag to securely connect to a Wi-Fi network. (Or does Easy Connect already allow that? It'd be great if it does.)
